The road meets with water competition at

The commissioners received to-day a
telegram from a committee representing
the western and southwestern waicr.lineS

ny. Cincinnati and Southwestern Railroad
Company, Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
Company, Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company, and their western and south.

Therefore, ask the Interstate Commission
TO rescind the order OF suspension Of the
section and make the railroads conform TO
the will Of the people a. expressed in the
Interstate commerce bill.
The commission went into secret session
this afternoon and spent several hours in
informal talk with Mr.. Albert Fink, COM
missioner OF the trunk lines, a. to the
operations OF the law, its effects upon rail.
rOGds, &c. The conference was entirely
informal, the commissioners desiring to get
additional light upon the attitude OF rail-
